This commemorative medal, created by Jean-Jacques Barre in 1833, celebrates the visit of King Louis-Philippe, Queen Marie-Amélie, and their children to the French Mint. The silver medal depicts the royal couple in profile, facing each other. Above them, an allegorical figure representing France holds a laurel wreath and stands atop a shield bearing the inscription "CHARTE DE 1830," which refers to the French Charter of 1830, a constitutional document that established the July Monarchy. The medal is a testament to the artistry of Barre and the celebration of the July Monarchy.
